My review of Moonlight Flower is up. Act & Yumi as always were super rad; they sent the script way in advance so I could translate & invited Teppen to the final dress rehearsal. Act’s first project for her new company & the 20th anniv. for both. I wasn’t gonna miss it.

PREY DAY: The only holiday I observed this year

Muscled-up MacGyver-haired Nam vet wrecking shop in the smallest Daisy Dukes. Come for Ted Prior, stay for schlock mainstay Cameron Mitchell. Everything wonderful about the VHS action era.

IT’S PREY DAY

on this day in 1986 Deadly Prey was released directly to VHS cassette. the greatest movie ever made? no. definitely not. but is it very good at least? no. but they do rip a guy’s arm off and beat him to death with it.
painted Ghanaian poster for Deadly Prey (1986). A man with a blonde mullet stands in a field of skulls, holding the severed head of a man in cool sunglasses and a machete dripping with blood. There is an explosion in the background and several helicopters swarming in the sky. There is a severed head on a pike and an explosion in the background. Another Ghanaian poster for Deadly Prey (1986). A shirtless man with a blonde mullet holds an assault rifle with an attached grenade launcher. there are random explosions everywhere. A smaller version of the man is firing his gun at the bottom of the poster while holding a severed arm. Another man in ripped camo pants runs by.

Ela Minus' return to Elsewhere was triumphant, emotional, intense, beautiful. It's a venue she's played many times over the years, and in my mind, they're forever linked. I caught her last night and had to write about her journey from Zone One to headlining the Hall.

In August, Nagisa Murakami and Maya Akechi released a collaborative collection of songs, writings, poems, and more, called 'Gentle Connection'. A fitting name as both songwriters created a safe space for each other to be vulnerable and tender.

Interview with Yumi Agawa is up at Teppen. Haka & Act Yasukawa helped me get quotes.

Only Yumi could garner loving quotes from Hikaru of #Kalafina & Ichiro Omomo, creator of Mighty Lady, in the same piece.

20 year career in entertainment that will never be replicated.

This game predicted everything.
Plot of Urban Strike which “centers around the antagonist H. R. Malone, a millionaire media mogul who once ran for President of the United States. Despite losing the election, Malone's charisma has continued to sway many Americans to his side. Malone's agenda is moralistic and appeals to legitimate problems that have concerned Americans, such as violence, political corruption and organized crime.”

"Go Birds!", more than just a rally cry for a football team, but a regional greeting you'll hear everywhere near Philly during the fall. An energy of optimism and excitement despite the state of the universe. An energy that defined Day 3 of the XPoNential Music Festival

This was my chance for some experimental photography & also pay tribute to the PNW scene I grew up in.

I was just a young teen when Charles Peterson was in Seattle clubs capturing blurred-out magic for Sub Pop. So b/c of Teppen I found myself in a Seattle club on a Friday night & shot in his style.

just an amazing couple of days at XPN fest, I'll probably post more about it in detail on here - definitely a blog post or 3 coming (I haven't figured out how I'm gonna lay it out lol) But man, photographing Sharon Van Etten for Teppen was a really emotional thing that didn't hit me til it happened

We keep getting invited to stuff so we’re gonna keep showing up. I have some words on this but first Rich will be in Brooklyn for Haru with top notch photography. I essentially stood on the side of the stage all evening for Haru’s concert.
Photo of Teppen’s media pass for Haru Nemuri at Madame Lou’s in Seattle. It’s labeled “MEDIA 9/19/25” Haru Nemuri on stage at the start of her set at Madame Lou’s in Seattle. Excited Haru standing between the stage monitors in front of the crowd with her in ear monitors off and dangling behind her back. They fell out one of the times she danced in the crowd. Haru in blue lighting singing with her hand in the air. She is very animated and rarely stands still so this was a somewhat rare moment.

More Slit Throats releases including a Lake Shark Ram Kaichow themed album. 2 different Big Foot monster truck albums, Hana lathe cut picture disc, Saki Akai Gravure Girls album

A bunch of the tape releases and the Manami Toyota set w/ gravure booklet. I have alternate layouts of the SLK trifold artwork as I was a sounding board for the art direction. That Suzu tape is mean as hell w/ wicked photos. Gold band on the Sareee tape is a nice touch. Madusa has tons of extras.
Sareee tape was UK tour exclusive. Our Enemy, Civilization is not part of the Joshi worship series but rad nonetheless. Head Wound Sadism split has cool Shinkiba violence artwork (Roman shared a YouTube link of the match). Toyota set has all types of stuff included, even a trading card. Suzu tape all red and bloody photos, perfect. SLK tape was something I knew about prior to public release as I said, but cool to have a physical copy.
